Keep looking and posting them and I will look them over and give my opinion on their accuracy.

I do not know of any veteran tuner that learned his craft by reading and not making many expensive mistakes. Jetting is one of those skills only acquired by much trial and error.   The information published by the manufacturer of the carburetor you are using is one of the best places to start as far as which circuit is responsible for fuel control at a particular throttle position.  The above procedure did not even get these basics correct. 

One of the most important things to remember is: the circuits overlap and if one circuit is too rich it can or will overlap into neighboring circuits and make them also rich.  The same goes for one circuit being too lean and overlapping and causing neighboring circuits to also be lean.

Do not speed too much time trying to get one circuit perfect because you will more than likely have to retune that circuit many times before you get all of the circuits working together.

Most tuning procedures that I have seen published do not make their readers aware that changing the needle jet size or changing the constant diameter portion of the needle often affects the idle mixture. Changing the needle jet size or the constant diameter portion of the needle has a huge influence on the mixture on closed throttle high RPM deceleration.  Moving the clip one position can affect the main jet size.  Changing the taper of the needle can affect main jet size.  These last four tips are some of the most miss-understood and overlooked areas that are responsible for addressing the wrong circuit when tuning a carburetor.
